My Claude week so far: decent performance but a string of false positive security refusals.

I built Token Envy because “Claude Code feels slow today” was impossible to verify. It turns local session metadata into a private performance baseline and shareable card. Prompts stay on your machine. Try it: npx tokenenvy www.npmjs.com/package/toke... #TokenEnvy

Security at Machine Speed Is the Wrong Race
Machine-speed exploitation will outrun reactive defense. Security invariants create resilience by eliminating attack paths before an incident begins.

Really enjoyed the time with James at Risky Business. Between his James Kettle interview and mine: the models we have today can already do remarkable work; if you take the time to codify your expertise into scaffolding. And what that looks like with IronCurtain, and on what businesses need to do.

Here is why we built BandAlert and why we thought it was needed: bandalert.co/blog/2025-11...

Why We Built BandAlert: Taking Back Direct Fan Connection
Social media algorithms are burying your show announcements. BandAlert gives bands a direct line to their fans through SMS: no apps, no algorithms, just your fans getting the message.

I needed a tool to help me recognize intervals via mnemonic song references. I spent a few hours to create ear.provos.org. It will play a reference song for an interval when a wrong guess is entered. It provides piano, guitar and violin to be able to practice with different note characters.

Last year, I built a tool for creating 2.5D parallax animations. It can export scenes to GLTF for easy import into Blender or Unreal Engine. However, many users struggled with the installation. Here is how to get it up and running: www.youtube.com/watch?v=amlU... #Python #StableDiffusion

An article in Harper's Magazine describes how Spotify undermines independent artists. In 2017, the company launched its "Perfect Fit Content" program, which replaces indie artists' music with cheaper tracks. PFC music is often made by "ghost artists" who are not well-known or may not even exist.
